I know it’s hard brothers trying to get through another day
Hold on your help is on the way 
Don’t let the evil forces take you out the game
They give you guns and drugs you know they running thangs

Oh child things are going to get easier 
But you gotta keep your mind sober at all times
War is declared on your mind strike that enemy down
Black man you got too be a man don’t you understand
It’s not about the material things
Keep your Head Up
Our young men are dying in record numbers why aren’t you fed up
These young brothers learned the game from us 
Passed down from generation to generation 
come on black man we got to change our thinking
Keep your Head Up
We can’t stop now let's tell them oppressors 
they got to take them hands from around our neck
We have a place in this world like all other human beings
America don’t kill my dreams 
God has given me a place in this world 
I am destiny
